Metrosexual or Homosexual? Where is the line?

The typical metrosexual is a young man with money to spend, living in or within easy reach of a metropolis — because that’s where all the best shops, clubs, gyms and hairdressers are. He might be officially gay, straight or bisexual, but this is utterly immaterial because he has clearly taken himself as his own love object and pleasure as his sexual preference. Particular professions, such as modeling, waiting tables, media, pop music and, nowadays, sport, seem to attract them but, truth be told, like male vanity products and herpes, they’re pretty much everywhere.

It’s a play on words from metropoliton hetersosexual, it’s come to mean guys more in touch with their ‘feminine’ sides, who care about their appearance and personal hygeine.

Queer Eye for the Straight Guy[/url] is a great series which tries to change typical slobby, style-deficient macho guys into new, trendy metro males. It’s like pluck that monobrow, shave that nose-hair, trim that back rug!

Monobrows/Unibrows are so NOT ON, even being a guy, I mean what’s the deal with looking like a neandrathal, pluck that motherfucker man.

On the same note, I found this very funny site:

Celebrating the Unity of your Eyebrows[/url]

I remember vaguely using foundation once when I was about 15 to cover a huge spot I had when I was going to my High School graduation ball…I can’t remember though if I rubbed it off or kept it on!

I have never waxed any part of my body, nor do I intend to.

One thing, I’m definately not as faggish as Superstar Bryan[/url] our idol 🙂

Do you guys have moisturiser? Do you use conditioner? Have you done anything you wouldn’t tell your ‘macho’ friends about?

Hmm you have many feminine traits. Add to that the pic of you posing with that handbag at the PPS bash, and you can’t blame people for thinking you may not be straight 😉 IMHO you’re a flaming metrosexual, and proud of it!

what a coincidence. just yesterday i saw on tv, a man gonig for facial and had his eyebrow trimmed too! but this man had beard and moustache!

i don’t know… but to me somehow or other a metrosexual man shouldn’t have beard/moustache…. must be clean cut!

if the definition of metrosexual as in wikipedia goes like this:
“guys more in touch with their ‘feminine’ sides, who care about their appearance and personal hygeine”, shouldn’t ALL men care about their appearance and personal hygeine? i mean i would ceratinly want my man to care about his appearance/hygeine!

YOU MAY NOT BE METROSEXUAL BUT TRUST ME DARLING, ALL IT TAKES IS A COUPLE OF LINES OF COKE, SOME BOOZE AND A HOLE TO GO ON YOUR POLE AND YOU WOULDN’T GIVE A FUCK WHETHER IT’S A GIRL, BOY OR LADYBOY CUM GUZZLING EACH AND EVERY DROP OF YOUR SPUNK.

like we don’t really care about female being sportsosexual. they do all the above but add in football, foosball, play game all night, drink beer more than magarita and fart or burp in public….wait…do we really want this /
